The sun had warmed the winding path by the time Katherine and Carolina made their way toward the wellness center nestled at the edge of the retreat grounds. The roof was covered in moss, and the doorway was framed by thick wisteria vines, their purple blooms curling like lazy fingers in the breeze.
Carolina gave a dramatic sigh and stretched her arms above her head as they approached. “Girl, I need someone to snap my spine back into place. I swear, one more emotional ceremony and I’m going to need a chiropractor.”
Katherine chuckled, a soft sound, barely louder than the leaves rustling overhead. “You don’t need a chiropractor. You need to stop sleeping diagonally.”
“I sleep like a goddess in the shape of a starfish. Don’t shame me.”
Katherine smiled again, grateful for Carolina’s humor
